    Earth Mean Table
AI Thread Summary
A request for a comprehensive table of Earth mean temperatures has been made, with users suggesting various resources for finding this data. Google Scholar and textbooks were recommended, but the original poster did not find satisfactory results. Wikipedia was also mentioned but deemed unhelpful. A suggestion was made to search for "Earth average temperature" using Google Images, which led to NASA's visual data covering 500 million years. For atmospheric temperatures, the GISS dataset, which extends back to 1880, was highlighted as a reliable source, along with other datasets like HadCrut5, RSS, and BEST. The GISS dataset offers global mean monthly, seasonal, and annual means that can be exported in text or CSV format.

Does anyone have a table of Earth mean temperatures?
I would like a table of Earth mean temperatures going back as far as available. Where can I find that?
 
Earth sciences news on Phys.org
Have you tried professor Google?

Yes. I haven't found it there. I hope this forum can provide it.
 
Sounds like it should be in climate change kind of literature.
I would try a google scholar search on things like that.
One would think it would be somewhere.
Maybe a text book.

Another word for 'mean' is 'average'. I had quite good luck googling 'Earth average temperature' and then clicking on the 'image' button.

NASA has an image very near the top that goes back 500 million years.

If you are asking about atmospheric temperatures as measured 2 meters above the ground,
GISS temperature is not a bad one, and goes back to 1880.
The "Global-mean monthly, seasonal, and annual means, 1880-present," can be exported as text of CSV.
Other data sets include HadCrut5, RSS, and BEST.

The OP was on the site for 17 minutes. Hopefully googled and took something.
